Ritsuko Ogura is a Japanese artist known for using cardboard in her jewelry, giving new life to a material that is normally used for packaging and then discarded. She recently started to use photographic film from her own photos, transforming it into beautiful three-dimensional sculptural pieces. Her work is in major collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art; Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The Design Museum (Helsinki, Finland); and the State Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg).
